Viega ProPress 1" Zero Lead Bronze Ball Valve w/Stainless Stem - Double Press Connection - Smart Connect Technology

The Viega ProPress 1" Zero Lead Bronze Ball Valve with Stainless Stem is engineered for reliable potable water distribution in both residential and commercial plumbing installations. This full-port ball valve delivers unrestricted flow rates critical for modern water systems, while the zero-lead bronze construction meets strict drinking water safety standards. Designed for contractors and facility managers who demand durability and compliance, this valve eliminates concerns about lead contamination in water supplies.

The double press connection design enables fast, code-compliant installation without threading, soldering, or flaring—reducing labor time on job sites. Viega's proprietary Smart Connect Technology provides tactile and audible feedback during the press operation, confirming proper connection integrity on the first attempt. The stainless steel stem resists corrosion and ensures smooth, long-lasting operation, while the full-port design minimizes pressure drop compared to reduced-port alternatives, supporting optimal system performance in water lines carrying peak demand loads.

Plumbers, mechanical contractors, and municipal water departments benefit from the speed and reliability of press-fit connections, especially in retrofit or new construction scenarios where downtime costs add up quickly. The 1" nominal size fits standard copper and PEX tubing schedules, making it compatible with most residential and light-commercial distribution networks. Installation requires only a compatible Viega press tool and proper training—no special materials or flux needed. This valve is ideal for service lines, branch distributions, and isolation points where shutoff capability and zero-lead integrity are non-negotiable requirements.
